Marcelo back on board

Marcelo is the key addition to Real Madrid's squad list for its upcoming league game in Pamplona. José Mourinho has called up 20 players for Saturday's match against Osasuna in the Reyno de Navarra stadium.

The full-back hasn't played for three months through injury and has been sorely missed in the first-team. Real Madrid has been unable to find a suitable replacement for him during his absence.

The Brazilian, who fractured his right foot, was recently included in the FIFA FIFpro World XI despite not having played since last 14th October, when he was injured whilst on international duty with Brazil.

Xabi Alonso will also travel - despite missing the second half of the Spanish Cup tie against Celta de Vigo due to a neck injury, as will Fabio Coentrao and academy player José Rodríguez.

Four important players are set to miss the game: Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Antonio Adán (suspended) and Pepe (injured). Reserve team shot stoppers Jesús and Tomás Mejías have both been called up to the squad in the wake of Adán's suspension.
